- IGN scores with an exclusive interview with Silent Bob himself, the man behind Clerks, Kevin Smith. They chat about Reaper, his new book, and the Robot Holocaust.

- The lovely and talented Nadia Oxford makes her Next Generation debut as their Top Story with a bit of investigative reporting, wherein she examines how independent retailers are handling the Finish to the Fight with the release of Halo 3.
- So now Halo 3 is here. What’s next for the rest of us?
- So we’ve heard that the new mobile phone Castlevania kind of bites, but now we can see how it bites in GameTrailers’ exclusive gameplay trailer.
Just don’t expect to hear anything.
- Ah, now here’s just what we need… an oldschool arcade review from Racketboy on one of the most favored beat=em-ups of all-time, Konami’s X-Men.
That this never came home is a real travesty… but, maybe XBox Live Arcade can change that fortune?
- Part ten of Gametrailers’ Final Fantasy Retrospective casts a divine light upon the franchise’s releases on the Game Boy, as well as television productions and even the dreaded silver screen.
- “How To Be a Better Fanboy.
Class, this is what’s known as an “oxymoron.” Despite that, maybe there’s something to be learned from all this. What that is, I don’t know. While I’m sure it’s not all bad inside that link, it still reads “How To Be a Better Asshole” to me.
- Hmm, since Mario is taking on Sonic at the Olympics, I wonder if switching to these would help improve his skills?
- Surely by now you’ve heard the legend of the original name for Pac-Man. He was originally called “Puck-Man,” but it was changed as the fear of the time was (and rightfully so) that kids would alter the “P” to make the marquee read something else.
Now, you can see what the original logo looked like for yourself, straight from Namco’s HQ.
In addition, for those who were unaware of the Yellow One’s history, now you know what a Pac-Man actually is: a puck.
